Clarion Content

Here we go with some updates to previous posts and threads.

Faithful readers might recall last week when we were musing about the underlying societal costs of our advertising culture, in trust and morality, as well as dollars and cents. This is the kind of commercial that makes one want to forget all that intellectual mumbo jumbo and just laugh your behind off. Check it out!

In another update, Clarion readers, you might recall we warned that the gigantic egotist that is Brett Favre was never going to be able to sit idly around in the off-season without musing about a comeback. The guy can't bear to be out of the news for that long. Witness, his totally callused treatment of the Packers the last several off-seasons, when he played these ridiculous games, publicly, in the press, of "will I" or "won't I" come back. He is at it again, to the detriment of the Pack. Has one Super Bowl ever brought one guy so much to be followed up by so little? Says here outside of Joe Namath, "Never."

Is it an update or just a reminder to say the Clintons are fabricating again? Perhaps that is a little too harsh. The Clarion is referring to the campaigns sparring this week over which of the Democratic candidates take oil money. Hillary Clinton is running a radio commercial (warning the ad starts with an annoying beep) in Pennsylvania accusing Obama of deception for saying he doesn't take oil money. Her argument is premised on the idea that Obama has taken money from the employees of big oil companies. Meanwhile, she fails to mention, of course, Obama has not taken money from oil industry political action committees which she has. She also fails too mention that she, Clinton, has taken more money from oil company employees than Obama!!

This is the kind of negative campaigning that led the Clarion to predict a McCain 2008 election victory the same week Clinton won the Ohio primary.
